Danny Graham aims to start a family feud and end Swansea’s travel sickness by shooting down boyhood team Newcastle.

The Swansea striker’s father is a season-ticket holder at St James’ Park and most of his relatives and friends are also die-hard members of the Toon Army.

Brendan Rodgers’ men are yet to secure a debut Premier League away win this season, but club-record signing Graham reckons he can break their duck by scoring on his return to the north-east.

The Geordie, 26, said: “It will be nice to go home and play against the team I supported as a kid. I was a die-hard Newcastle fan and used to go every week with my dad, stepdad and other family members.

“There will be about 40 or 50 of them sitting in the Newcastle sections this weekend and I’ve also got some tickets in the Swansea section.

“I remember the days when we beat Barcelona in the Champions League and (Faustino) Asprilla scored a hat-trick. They were good memories but they will go out the window on Saturday.

"I want to win, score and put one over on all my friends and family. “Scoring the winner at St James’ Park would be a career highlight alongside making my professional debut.

"I would certainly celebrate.”

Graham, who cost £3.5million from Watford last summer, is expected to return to the team in place of Leroy Lita after bagging his fifth goal of the season in the 2-0 win over Fulham last weekend.
